Phil and Steve O run a cool music blog at Change the Rotation that I contribute to now and then.
My biggest contribution is a series of interviews with musicians about their philosophies on art and their place in it. Done completely online, these are really informal and it's been fun to pick their brains for a bit.

Jake Joyce of Seasonal Men's Wear (Oct. 7, 2013)
Paul Aluculesei of Warforged/Fathoms (Nov. 13, 2013)

For a final capstone project, I decided to do a research paper on the role of music in social movements. This ended up becoming a more specific paper on the potential effects of the internet and digital age on the role of music in social movements. This was a super fun project to do and I learned a bunch of great material and talked to some awesome people. This is partly a history lesson and partly an argument for how I perceive this role has or hasn’t changed over the years. I focus on the labor movement, the 1960s counterculture, and Occupy Wall Street. This is kind of limiting for a variety of reasons, but it helps keep everything concise and make as concrete of comparisons as I can based on my research.
